Abstract

A method of layout of a driving chip of an LCD, for reducing a size of the LCD, includes forming a first pin group including a plurality of pins utilized for outputting gate driving signals along a first direction, forming a second pin group including a plurality of pins utilized for outputting gate driving signals along the first direction, forming a first wire group including a plurality of wires each coupled between a pin of the first pin group and a panel of the LCD, and forming a second wire group including a plurality of wires each coupled between a pin of the second pin group and the panel, wherein each wire of the second wire group includes at least a bender formed inside the driving chip.

Claims (22)

1. A method of layout of a driving chip of a liquid crystal display (LCD), for reducing a size of the LCD, comprising:

forming a first pin group only along a first direction, the first pin group comprising a plurality of pins for outputting gate driving signals, wherein the first direction is a horizontal direction of the LCD;

forming a second pin group only along the first direction, the second pin group comprising a plurality of pins for outputting gate driving signals;

forming a first wire group comprising a plurality of wires each coupled between a pin of the first pin group and a panel of the LCD; and

forming a second wire group comprising a plurality of wires each coupled between a pin of the second pin group and the panel, wherein each wire of the second wire group comprises at least a bend formed inside the driving chip.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second pin group is closer to a center of a horizontal side of the driving chip than the first pin group.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the second pin group along the first direction is forming the second pin group along the first direction and paralleling the first pin group.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein each wire of the first wire group is extended from a pin of the first pin group to a margin of the panel and coupled to the panel.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein each wire of the second wire group is extended from a pin of the second pin group into the driving chip, through at least a bend, to a margin of the panel, and coupled to the panel.

6. A liquid crystal display (LCD) capable of reducing a layout size comprising:

a substrate;

a panel formed on the substrate; and

a driving chip for driving the panel comprising:

a gate driver for outputting gate driving signals;

a first pin group comprising a plurality of pins, formed on the substrate only along a first direction and coupled to the gate driver, for outputting gate driving signals, wherein the first direction is a horizontal direction of the LCD;

a second pin group comprising a plurality of pins, formed on the substrate only along the first direction and coupled to the gate driver, for outputting gate driving signals;

a first wire group comprising a plurality of wires formed on the substrate and coupled between the first pin group and the panel; and

a second wire group comprising a plurality of wires formed on the substrate and coupled between the second pin group and the panel, wherein each wire of the second wire group comprises at least a bend formed inside the driving chip.

7. The LCD of claim 6 , wherein the second pin group is closer to a center of a horizontal side of the driving chip than the first pin group.

8. The LCD of claim 6 , wherein the second pin group is parallel to the first pin group.

9. The LCD of claim 6 , wherein each wire of the first wire group is extended from a pin of the first pin group to a margin of the panel and coupled to the panel.

10. The LCD of claim 6 , wherein each wire of the second wire group is extended from a pin of the second pin group into the driving chip, through at least a bend, to a margin of the panel, and coupled to the panel.
